challenge of finding matching items of similar size and and shape such as leaves, twigs, grasses and pine cones etc.<\/p>\n<p>Back at school, we created a line of symmetry on a large sheet of paper.\u00a0 The children had to work in pairs using their soft skills of cooperation, idea sharing and negotiation to agree their layout theme.<\/p>\n<p>They carefully selected and placed natural materials to produce symmetrical pictures with similar parts facing each other as a mirror image.<\/p>\n<p>The children have been very creative in combining art with maths today.\u00a0 Have a look at their lovely symmetrical pictures.<\/p>\n<h1>Successful Learners<\/h1>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6978 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure
